THE WEATHER.

Prof. Foster says IN the Burlington
Hawkeye:
1t can do no harm to be prepared for
the February storms, especially those
from the lst to the 18th. These storms
will do much good as well as some
harm. That Of February 1st will run
well to the south and will be followed |
by cold weather. That of the It'll will |
run further north, weather milder. |
The 18th will bring very heavy storm
in the northern ATTITUDES us well rs
that of the LIST, and we advise ali to he
prepared for those disturbers. That
last, the 18th, will be of less magnitude
and force.''
The N. Y. Tribune gives the goose
bone" indications, the infallible wealth
er guide among the farmers of New
York State, as follows:
During February there will not he
any cold weather, bnt it will be a rath-
er disaQreeable month, with SHOWS and
rains A few cold days will he all that
February will contribute to winter
An early and decided thaw is among
the promises of the bone. The Febru-
AIRY thaw will overflow the mountain
streams. aud disastrous floods may lie
looked for.
This is the eastern "goose bone.''-
Let's hear from the western.

Greek, Rock county, brought Geo. G.
Tunstall over on Tuesday and lodged
him with Sheriff Anderson for safe
keeping in our Jail. It seems that
Tunstall, while under the influence of
liquor. disturbed a temperance meet

evenings since, and was ordered out by
Constable Mathews. Tunstall procur-.

ANOTHER B~ANNER SUBSCRIBER.
We last week mentioned one of our
banner subscribers. Since going to
press we have heard from another one,
T.. g. CLANCY, Of Detroit, Michigan,
who sends us s.. 50 and pays both ways,
back and forward. Mr.. e. came to
Worthington in 1872, about the time
his uncle, A. CLANCY, came. He re-
manned here year or two and then re-
turned to Detroit. lie has taken the
ADVANCE all the time. Sometimes he
has written us Il sharp rebuke for put
ting s" much spiritualism and free
grace" into our columns, but he has
RENTED regularly and we appreciate
his manly spirit. Recently he has
been married ard we join with his
friends here III congratulations.
